Are 0:00:27.320 --> 0:00:29.920 you ready for Christmas Eve? Brew? I'm so excited. Eastern 0:00:30.000 --> 0:00:32.120 What are you about to do? What am I about 0:00:32.120 --> 0:00:34.960 to do for Christmas Eve? Oh? My goodness. Uh, the 0:00:35.000 --> 0:00:38.239 stockings are hung by the chimney with care. Um. I'm 0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:41.159 gonna throw a dura flame log in the fireplace and 0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:46.000 watch a Christmas movie, maybe make a gingerbread house at 0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:49.600 a boy all the Christmas stuff. What's your favorite Christmas movie? 0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:56.480 My favorite Christmas movie is Gremlins. What that's a Christmas movie? Oh, 0:00:56.560 --> 0:00:59.000 it's a Christmas movie. It's very if you watch it, 0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:02.360 it's very Christmas. Takes place on Christmas Eve, sand is 0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:04.959 all over the place, they're in the snow. Gremlins is 0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:08.280 a Christmas movie. You're right, that's like a diet the 0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:12.840 die hard conversation exactly. I believe die Hard as a 0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:18.160 Christmas movie. I think the argument of die Hard is 0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:20.600 that it released in the summertime, and I don't know 0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:24.880 about Gremlins. I think Gremlins released around Christmas. But that's 0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:29.120 where the die Hard discourse comes in. That's that carries 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:34.840 some weight that's understandable. Well, what do you guy? So 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:36.839 we're just gonna hang out as a fan. We got 0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:40.000 the in laws in town, and so we have a 0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:44.800 tradition where we're able to open one present on Christmas Eve? 0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:49.400 So what present are we gonna let the kids open? Honestly, 0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:54.880 I wrapped the presents so long ago that I don't 0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:59.480 remember what's in the presents. So I'm really I don't know. 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:03.000 I'll just go Emi MENI Moneymi, And we just want 0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:06.120 to grab a big one who knows so small and 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:10.480 could be just as tricky. Well, this is fun. We're 0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:13.440 on you know, Live wind Down on the stereo app Um, 0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:16.400 we're gonna have a good friend of your yours, Bethany 0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:18.200 joy Lynds from Wintry Hill. She's gonna be on the 0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:21.320 show later. Yeah, she has a new album out called Snow. 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:23.880 It's so good. So if you want a good Christmas 0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:29.240 album to listen to, definitely give it a listen. Um, 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:31.639 I just can't believe tomorrow's Christmas, Like we finally made 0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:35.480 it to Christmas time when we gonna take direct decorations 0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:37.320 down because I know like once the holiday is over, 0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:41.360 you just want to move on to the next The 0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:45.680 day after everything down, maybe like a few days later, 0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:48.960 but it has to be down before New Year's, Before 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:51.000 New Year's. I know some people that like to keep 0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:56.080 their tree rips on New Year's down gone, get it gone? 0:02:56.120 --> 0:03:01.799 What about you Eastern you know, uh called last year. 0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:04.120 I think we left ours up until New Year's, but 0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:07.920 I don't know. I think I like to say that 0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:10.000 we're going to take down the twenty six, but that's 0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:13.359 not gonna happen. We'll probably start taking down the outside 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:16.720 stuff on the s and the tree probably around New 0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:26.079 Year's Like no, yeah, I feel like is a good? 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:32.560 Is a good? Like in between? I know that a 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:35.000 Swift song came out where she's like, we can leave 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:37.680 the Christmas lights up till January, and I'm like, oh man, 0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:40.400 that's a that's a slippery slope. Go. Then it goes 0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:44.120 to February. Then March. Then you start justifying to leave 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:48.440 him up all year exactly. Work smart, not hard. Hey, 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:50.520 so I know we're going to do some Q and A. 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:53.440 Uh this show. You've got some things lined up for us. 0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:57.880 I certainly do. I mean, these are some hard hitting 0:03:57.960 --> 0:04:02.360 questions you guys. Ready, let's do it all right, let's uh, 0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:05.160 let's do the first one here. Uh, what's your best 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:13.880 advice for a newly engaged couple? Mm hmm, what honey? Um? 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:17.680 I would just say, enjoy the newlywed phase because it's 0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:23.080 it's kind of fade. No, I mean, just enjoy, just 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:27.120 enjoy the the time together and try not to rush 0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:32.880 and just yeah, I just enjoy the moment, enjoy the 0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:39.520 enjoy the feeling that you have with your partner. Yeah, 0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:42.440 I would say, just enjoy getting to know each other, 0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:45.039 like continuing to get to know each other, and that 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:47.760 that doesn't stop for the rest of your relationship. And 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:50.719 you know, if you continue to learn more about each other, 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:53.400 I think you can find ways to keep the relationship 0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:59.000 and marriage interesting and fun. Yeah. I find people, uh, 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:02.200 when they're getting age, they jumped pretty quickly into like 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:04.760 wedding planning mode, even if they're not gonna get married 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:08.360 right away, and that's a very until you have children. 0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:10.080 I think that might be the most stressful thing a 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:13.560 couple does, like early in your relationship is playing the wedding. 0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:18.600 So I mean I always say, like, give yourself at 0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:20.840 least a couple of months of just like enjoying being 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:23.320 engaged before you get into that, because there's plenty of 0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:28.560 time for all that stuff. But yeah, all right, Uh, 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:32.120 let's how about this, how does Mike? How did Mike 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:34.920 feel when you were on Dancing with the Stars, Janet? 0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:41.200 Did you watch? Um? Mike was in rehab and he 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:45.520 did not watch. Um, I don't know if I watched 0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:47.960 at the end. And it's more so, you know, I 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:52.039 was just sad that I couldn't be there throughout the 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:55.359 whole journey with her because she did so well on 0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:57.000 it and I would have loved to have been there 0:05:57.040 --> 0:06:00.560 to support her all the way to the end into 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:06.080 the final four. That's a's a supportive husband right there. 0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:11.800 What are your favorite attributes about each other? Um? I 0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:15.000 would say that Mike's a great dad. Um, he's really 0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:20.160 hands on, interactive, always you know, on the ground with them, 0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:24.440 and you know, just yeah, he's just he's one of 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:30.480 the best dads. Um I know. UM. For me, it's 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:37.480 Janna's just kind of relentlessness when it comes to to 0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:41.200 work and providing for the family because she's she inspires 0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:43.800 me to like to be creative and to think outside 0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:46.920 the box because she's always creating something or finding something 0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:49.920 to do, or finding ways to earn. And it's just 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:53.400 it's motivating because you know, I'm come from a different background. 0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:55.840 It's very structured and what I did, so it's it's 0:06:55.920 --> 0:07:00.040 nice to kind of strengthen my create creativity muscles and 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:04.720 and think outside the box. Right now, we're gonna turn 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:06.960 it on turn this next question on its head. If 0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:09.920 you guys could swap places for a day, what's one 0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:12.960 thing you think the other person does that you think 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:17.880 you could do so much better? Mm hmmm. We'd save 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:21.080 that one more time. So, if you could swap places 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:23.480 for a day, what's one thing you think you could do? 0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:26.160 One thing the other person does that you think you 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:33.480 could do better. Mhm. So if I was Janna for 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:39.680 the day, Yeah, what would I do as Janna? Like, Like, 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:41.600 what's something that Janna does that you think you could 0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:44.840 do better? If you this is a high concept question 0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:47.920 if you inhabited her body for the day, so like 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:54.280 Little Dickey style exactly, Um, oh what can I do? 0:07:57.360 --> 0:08:05.640 I think, Oh, man, you could relax better. I think 0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:08.200 I could. I would sing. And the reason I say that, 0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:10.600 we all know Janna has a beautiful voice, but I 0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:13.840 feel like if her voice is better than she even 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:17.040 thinks it is. And so I'll go out there and 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:22.760 just sing my ass off, all right, because you think 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:26.240 you can sing better than me, because I hear you 0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:28.840 from my ears and know how good you are. You 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:31.600 know that you that you hold back at times. So 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:39.480 I'll go out there and just let loose. Mhm um, yep, good. 0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:47.920 I would probably say. I mean cleaning, you know, just 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:51.280 like when he's like, I'll get the dishes and clean, 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:54.480 but it's like he leaves like the one side of 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:58.240 the counter like filthy with his like grease stains from 0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:01.720 like cooking. So I'm just like I just finished the 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:18.960 job better. But the meal was amazing. It all right. 0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:20.640 We have some live questions I'm gonna get I'm gonna 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:23.520 get this. What is one thing that you two have 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:27.760 learned or discovered about each other that you didn't know 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:34.000 before quarantine and COVID. Oh, I don't know. I feel 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:35.920 like I feel like we know each other pretty well. Mike. 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:41.880 Why don't you start mm hmmm. Something we learned knew 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:45.440 about each other that we didn't there before, man, Daniel, 0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:48.480 I mean, the thing is not much changed for us 0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:52.880 because we're always together anyway. Yeah, I would say honestly, 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:57.080 there was nothing new, just because we are always together 0:09:57.160 --> 0:10:00.520 anyways and do life together that we're pretty normal to 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:04.800 this kind of working from home and being around each 0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:09.160 other environment. But good question, nonetheless, which one of you 0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:18.400 would win in the dance battle? Me? Okay, quick answer? Wow, 0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:21.959 I'm gonna say me, just because when we did take 0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:24.400 dance lessons, Mike was like falling over his feet. You're 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:27.880 out of your mind. I was correcting you, okay, But 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:29.920 you also didn't come in fourth place on Dancing with 0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:33.400 the Stars and half of the stuff that I didn't 0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:37.400 Dancing with the Stars just until they do couples All Stars. Yeah. 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:41.600 How did you come up with kids names? Did you 0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:45.160 disagree on some names or agree on some names? And 0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:50.959 who had the finals? Say? Julie was always a name 0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:53.520 that I had for I had that name for a while, 0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:58.440 probably like twenty years yeah, um, and it was just 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:01.160 always something so pretty and then he liked it right 0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:05.520 off the Yeah. And then our boy name. We had 0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:08.840 a few names. Um, I really my friend came up 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:11.400 with Jason, and I really liked it. Mike wasn't a 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:14.280 thousand percent sold on it in the very beginning, but 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:18.280 I kept just pushing, like what it means, and you know, 0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:22.480 the Jay's and and then I once I was able 0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:25.959 to kind of bring in the middle name and he 0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:30.719 would have the same initials as his grandfather and great grandfather. 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:35.240 That was the connection for me. I was like, boom done, Mike, 0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:37.640 do you feel left out because your name doesn't begin 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:41.520 with the J? Good question? Easton. I told him he 0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:43.960 could change it if he wanted, you know, Eastern. My 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:49.079 middle name is John, Um, so I could start going 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:52.960 by John. You know, who's to say I can't um, 0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:55.520 But yeah, at times I do. It's like, hey, there's Janna, 0:11:55.640 --> 0:12:00.560 Jolie and Chase and Mike just there existing. But you 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:06.319 stand out. You know, You're Yeah, you're different. You want 0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:16.280 to be different, that's coment. Have a great personality, all right, 0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:19.280 you see what are the questions you got over there? Okay, 0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:21.440 this one I saw this on the rundown, and I 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:24.280 was really excited about it. Janna, I want to know 0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:27.720 what are the stories, What's what's the t behind the 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:32.120 non Mike related songs you wrote? And you're saying, like whiskey, 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:37.760 I got the boy, I won't give up. So why 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:43.720 you Wanna is about my first relationship in Nashville that 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:47.560 broke my heart. Um, so that song has always been 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:50.839 about him. Um, I got the boys out, my high 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:55.120 school sweetheart, Matthew. And then I mean most of my 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:57.080 songs are about an act of kind of like the 0:12:57.240 --> 0:13:03.120 I'm the old Taylor Swift you know. Yeah, well, how 0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:05.160 this Taylor Swift is trying to be Jana Kramer? That's 0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:10.160 what I've always said. Uh oh, here's a here's a 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:16.400 question from Mike. Are you having your vasectomy reversed? Nope, No, 0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:21.800 I'm not chance. If anything, we'll just do it a 0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:29.160 different way, all right, all right? So what what was 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:32.360 the name you almost had? Like you guys, if you like, 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:36.520 were you almost not Jana or not Mike? I was 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:40.360 supposed to be Jessica or Ariel And I'm just glad, 0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:43.280 I mean, no, no hate to like Jessica or the 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:47.760 Ariels out there, but um yeah or no, sorry, it 0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:54.840 was Jennifer and Ariel. Um. So last minute, my mom, 0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:57.800 you know, decided against Ariel, and I really appreciated it. 0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:02.360 But I mean, I love arials out there. If there's 0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:04.640 I mean, that's you, you're a Disney princess. I just 0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:08.520 don't think that I could have, you know, lived up 0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:14.199 to being the Disney Mermaid. I was Michael from from 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:22.200 Jumps Street, like no no exciting story behind it. Yeah, 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:25.480 I was almost Maverick. I was gonna be Maverick until 0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:27.680 like the night before and then my dad was like, 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:30.720 you know, I got a name. People, Starbucks will screw 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:34.800 up even more than that. Let's do Easton. Let's sea. 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:38.880 The fact that your dad was the one that last 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:43.840 minute called off Maverick is very surprising, I know, right 0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:46.520 he like, honestly, someone is doing work at our house 0:14:46.560 --> 0:14:48.480 and he's like, oh, my son's named Easton, and like 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:51.040 that was it. They just called it that at the 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:55.280 last minute. Your dad looks like a Maverick. He's like 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:58.760 a bodybuilder, you know. He liked to joke with me 0:14:58.840 --> 0:15:01.040 that it was a top gun thing, but it was 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:05.440 it was from a Western TV show. But again, I'm 0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:07.440 kind of glad I wasn't Maverick, I would have just 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:16.480 gone by Rick probably Rick. Uh. We are live on 0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:18.800 the stereo app. This is a wind Down Live with 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:22.480 Joanna Kramer and Michael Cosson. Hey, guys, have your kids 0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:29.880 ever walked in on you? Oh my gosh? No? Uh no, 0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:35.200 is there a gray area, Mike, It is a gray area. 0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:41.080 I think I think Jolie has like this quarantine. We're 0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:44.480 just like I go back and watch TV. We'll be 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:47.720 out there in a minute, but not like fully walked in. 0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:57.440 I don't remember that happening. I'm gonna go with now. Okay, Uh, 0:15:58.040 --> 0:16:04.479 how do you guys? Comp reminds your differences in parenting? Fortunately, 0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:08.400 we don't really have that many. No. I mean I 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:10.680 feel like there's times and like I might be a 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:13.720 little harder and like Michael be like, hey, you know 0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:18.360 either like check yourself and vice versa, where like He'll 0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:22.119 be like I have a stronger reaction and I'll be like, okay, 0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:28.600 like we'll we'll just like tag. Um. But I feel 0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:31.920 like we parents pretty much the same way. Um. I 0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:35.800 might be a little bit more sensitive to like aggressiveness, 0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:42.560 but um, I think we pretty much parents the same way. 0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:45.480 What do you think has been This is a question 0:16:45.480 --> 0:16:47.920 for me. What do you think has been the biggest challenge, 0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:50.720 like the biggest difference you guys have had in parenting. 0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:53.320 Like I know there was a last year there was 0:16:53.320 --> 0:16:55.760 some difference on like where to go for the holidays, 0:16:55.760 --> 0:17:03.120 but like, has there been a bigger hurdle other than that? Um? No, 0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:09.480 I think the only foreseeable thing is, you know, this 0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:12.800 year hasn't really been a big issue because of the 0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:15.920 quarantine stuff, and you know, Janna hasn't filmed as many 0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:18.800 things or we haven't had to travel as much. But 0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:24.240 you know, I'm big on like the kid's routine and 0:17:24.280 --> 0:17:27.600 them not getting taken out of their routine that much, 0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:31.879 especially with them getting a little older. And you know, 0:17:32.240 --> 0:17:34.960 Janna so used to traveling, especially with Jolie. She was 0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:37.520 our little you know, our travel bug, like she came 0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:42.080 everywhere with us. Um you know, and Jason was the 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:44.159 same too when he was an infant. But now with 0:17:44.200 --> 0:17:46.679 the kids getting older and when things were normal, you know, 0:17:46.760 --> 0:17:50.080 Juliet soccer, she has dance, she has this. You know, 0:17:50.080 --> 0:17:51.920 if Janna has to go film something, I don't want 0:17:51.960 --> 0:17:54.080 to just have the drop of the hat take the 0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:57.760 kids completely out of what they have going on to 0:17:57.840 --> 0:18:00.199 go just sit somewhere for a couple of weeks. But 0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:02.359 I also don't want Janna to be without a family. 0:18:02.400 --> 0:18:05.480 So those are the biggest things, especially once like Julie 0:18:05.560 --> 0:18:09.159 starts like school, school, you know, that's going to be 0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:12.959 a challenge I think for us, UM, I feel like, 0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:16.600 you know, the difference is like you know, when you 0:18:16.680 --> 0:18:18.800 travel somewhere, like you're not just gonna go sit somewhere, 0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:21.960 because like it's now that the kids are getting older. 0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:26.840 I've talked to so many people that, um, you know, 0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:32.000 have traveled with their parents and what they get to 0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:37.240 see and experience different cultures in different states and different countries. 0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:40.560 You know, they say it's it was the best experience 0:18:40.920 --> 0:18:43.680 as a kid to be able to travel with their 0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:47.360 you know, they're working parents. So I feel like, yes, 0:18:47.440 --> 0:18:50.679 I can understand where it would might be hard, but 0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:52.639 at the same time, the fact that they could go 0:18:52.720 --> 0:18:55.760 experience new places, I think is a gift that like 0:18:55.920 --> 0:18:58.360 I wish that I could have done with my parents 0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:01.240 or my mom or my dad, um, so that I 0:19:01.240 --> 0:19:05.359 could have seen more things and experience different cultures and 0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:11.560 um be more whatever that word is like, um, yeah, 0:19:11.720 --> 0:19:14.040 just would have traveled more to see more things. I 0:19:14.040 --> 0:19:17.879 think as a kid, that's stuff that you can't you know, 0:19:17.960 --> 0:19:21.639 you can't. I mean, that's just it's fine. I don't know. 0:19:22.000 --> 0:19:24.800 You learn things. You you get to see other places, 0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:29.000 and you better to do when you're a kid, you know, 0:19:30.440 --> 0:19:32.679 Oh my god, of course you know. I got to 0:19:32.760 --> 0:19:35.680 go with you to work one time, to the same 0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:41.400 and I got to experience New Iberia Louisiana. That was like, sincerely, 0:19:41.400 --> 0:19:44.840 that was an experience I think about every day, and 0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:49.159 it really was exciting. I couldn't imagine being your child 0:19:49.240 --> 0:19:51.639 and getting to see all these different places. And and 0:19:51.680 --> 0:19:53.720 also when you watch mom work, you have such a 0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:57.040 cool job, and uh, you know, it's just such a 0:19:57.040 --> 0:20:01.200 cool thing to be around. Uh. Who's per personality does 0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:05.080 each of the kids have or are closest to. I 0:20:05.119 --> 0:20:14.200 think Jace has my like love side, and Julie has um. 0:20:14.240 --> 0:20:16.920 I mean I feel like both kids are like jas 0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:21.439 has more of like my cuddly, very kind of needy personality, 0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:24.879 and then Julie has Mike's like now I'm good, like 0:20:25.000 --> 0:20:29.359 I don't need affection like whatever. But then I feel 0:20:29.359 --> 0:20:34.520 like she's got like you know, um, her independence too 0:20:34.600 --> 0:20:39.359 from Mike and and then she's got my sass. What 0:20:39.400 --> 0:20:42.800 do you think? Yeah, I mean there's you know, parts 0:20:42.840 --> 0:20:46.840 of them that are both like us. Um. Yeah, I 0:20:46.840 --> 0:20:49.080 think the biggest things are what Janna said, and then 0:20:49.119 --> 0:20:52.280 also it just comes down to the biology of them. 0:20:52.320 --> 0:20:57.680 I mean, Julie is a girl like Jase's your typical 0:20:57.760 --> 0:21:04.000 boy like jumping off couches, smashing trucks together, wrestling, all 0:21:04.040 --> 0:21:08.440 of that. So it's you know, there, they're there, they're 0:21:08.480 --> 0:21:13.520 being themselves and it's just awesome to see. So the 0:21:14.320 --> 0:21:18.960 kids are back at school earlier. I'm not sure about Ja's, 0:21:18.960 --> 0:21:20.440 but at least Julie, I know it is like going 0:21:20.520 --> 0:21:23.440 to school in person right now? Is that right? Yeah? 0:21:23.520 --> 0:21:28.280 Julia is? What was that? Was that a hard decision 0:21:28.440 --> 0:21:31.919 to make in terms of like there's a question here, 0:21:31.960 --> 0:21:33.399 how did you come to the decision to send your 0:21:33.480 --> 0:21:36.600 kids back to school? And I'm assuming that means because 0:21:36.640 --> 0:21:41.040 of the pandemic. Yeah, I mean it's one of those 0:21:41.040 --> 0:21:44.639 things like, you know, because Julie technically goes to a daycare, 0:21:44.840 --> 0:21:46.640 they had to stay open, So we could have sent 0:21:46.720 --> 0:21:50.840 Julie the whole time if we wanted to but we 0:21:50.920 --> 0:21:53.400 took her out in March. We didn't send her back 0:21:53.480 --> 0:21:57.200 to what August. Yeah, And so we had the whole 0:21:57.240 --> 0:22:01.639 spring and summer with her, with both kids, and it 0:22:01.720 --> 0:22:07.200 was just for us, you know, we were still wanting 0:22:07.240 --> 0:22:09.440 to live our lives, and we're like, look, the kids 0:22:09.480 --> 0:22:14.040 need school. We tried schooling ourselves. We're not teachers, and 0:22:14.280 --> 0:22:16.640 you know they need it's it's it was only fair 0:22:16.680 --> 0:22:18.480 to Jolie at that point. It was fair to the 0:22:18.560 --> 0:22:21.200 kids to have that social interaction, to play with friends, 0:22:21.240 --> 0:22:24.119 to to learn, and so it almost got to the 0:22:24.119 --> 0:22:25.800 point where we felt like it would be selfish if 0:22:25.840 --> 0:22:28.200 we kept them home any longer. I will say, though, 0:22:28.280 --> 0:22:31.000 it is kind of freaking me out because Tennessee is 0:22:31.040 --> 0:22:35.679 now the highest state of coronavirus new cases. So I 0:22:35.720 --> 0:22:38.640 am starting to be like, maybe we should lock down 0:22:38.680 --> 0:22:44.280 again because it's kind of freaking me out. I can't imagine, 0:22:44.720 --> 0:22:47.960 like being a young kid and having to do your 0:22:47.960 --> 0:22:50.239 classes like on the computer, you know, Like I had 0:22:50.240 --> 0:22:53.000 a hard enough time like being social and making friends, 0:22:53.040 --> 0:22:55.159 like going to school normally, I can imagine having to 0:22:55.240 --> 0:22:59.800 do that virtually. Oh my god, yeah, do your do 0:23:00.040 --> 0:23:01.760 Jolie and James get along with each other, do they 0:23:01.800 --> 0:23:05.040 play really well, and oh my gosh, they're the best. 0:23:05.160 --> 0:23:08.160 They are best buds until they're not until they're not. 0:23:09.640 --> 0:23:11.679 But but that's what's funny to see. I mean, they 0:23:11.680 --> 0:23:14.800 will be so cute one second, and then Jas will 0:23:14.840 --> 0:23:18.399 be like bodies trying to you know, jump off the couch, 0:23:18.560 --> 0:23:21.280 arm onto Jolie and wrestle with her, and Joelie will 0:23:21.280 --> 0:23:25.960 start crying and Jas will viciously pulled her hair and 0:23:26.080 --> 0:23:31.480 it's it's so funny to see though. It's funny, but 0:23:31.520 --> 0:23:35.280 it's also sad, like they're they're you know, they're so cute, 0:23:35.359 --> 0:23:38.280 but then it's the next you know, five minutes later, Yeah, 0:23:38.359 --> 0:23:40.400 Jason is pulling her hair trying to wrestle with her. 0:23:40.520 --> 0:23:43.640 They're just typical siblings. Man. It's it's just it's awesome. 0:23:45.440 --> 0:23:47.960 They're gonna be so close when they get older too. 0:23:48.040 --> 0:23:54.080 It's a cool thing to see. Uh, let's see we're 0:23:54.119 --> 0:23:57.159 a great moderator. By the way, Easton here on the 0:23:57.200 --> 0:23:59.960 stereo app. Thanks for doing this Christmas even all got 0:24:00.000 --> 0:24:05.000 you're working on a holiday. Thanks guys. You know they 0:24:05.040 --> 0:24:08.320 always say when you get to uh work with your heroes, 0:24:08.440 --> 0:24:11.800 it's never work. It's just living my dream right now. 0:24:14.240 --> 0:24:16.119 I'm and I hope, I'm hope I'm doing a good 0:24:16.200 --> 0:24:18.360 job here. I usually just turn the microphones on enough. 0:24:18.520 --> 0:24:21.760 But let's see, got some more questions here on on 0:24:21.800 --> 0:24:26.640 the stereo app. Mike, would you ever rejoin the NFL? 0:24:28.320 --> 0:24:33.000 Sure if they'd have me. Yeah, no, My my body's 0:24:33.080 --> 0:24:36.520 done and there's no market for a thirty three year 0:24:36.560 --> 0:24:41.800 old retiree. I mean it'd be cool to see, like 0:24:41.800 --> 0:24:43.640 like a stunt casting kind of thing, though, like we're 0:24:43.640 --> 0:24:47.720 bringing them out of retirement. Michael Cousins coming back. Sure, 0:24:47.760 --> 0:24:54.879 I would. We'll need the next year to to train. Uh. 0:24:54.960 --> 0:24:56.840 You know, actually some of you guys talked about earlier 0:24:56.880 --> 0:25:00.439 that I was thinking about when you did when you dance, 0:25:00.600 --> 0:25:02.639 when you took because you said you took like a 0:25:02.720 --> 0:25:06.240 dance class together, right, mm hmm. Did you feel that 0:25:07.040 --> 0:25:12.280 your football training helped with that? Yeah? I think general 0:25:12.320 --> 0:25:15.000 athleticism will help with that, you know, I mean I 0:25:15.040 --> 0:25:16.840 think it will definitely have I think that's why part 0:25:16.840 --> 0:25:19.760 of why Jana did so well, because she's she's just 0:25:20.760 --> 0:25:22.760 she is an athlete, you know. She I skated for 0:25:22.800 --> 0:25:29.000 a long time, and that stating an athletic sports. I 0:25:29.119 --> 0:25:33.840 never took it away from you. Yeah that's cheer leading. Um, 0:25:33.880 --> 0:25:49.600 but now if you watch cheer on Netflix. Come on now, hey, 0:25:49.640 --> 0:25:54.280 we have a couple of live live questions. Who were 0:25:54.400 --> 0:25:58.760 your role models growing up? Or your couple goals or 0:25:58.840 --> 0:26:04.640 your relationship goals? M Do you have a role model 0:26:04.640 --> 0:26:12.920 grown up? Um? Don't have a role model growing up? Uh? 0:26:13.359 --> 0:26:15.120 I think it was like Diane Sawyer because I wanted 0:26:15.119 --> 0:26:19.119 to be an anger woman. Yeah, I don't know if 0:26:19.160 --> 0:26:22.119 I you know, I had like favorite players or whatever, 0:26:22.200 --> 0:26:25.240 But I don't know if I really had like a 0:26:25.359 --> 0:26:28.080 role model that you know. Now I look back and 0:26:28.119 --> 0:26:30.760 I've taken the the positive things I've inherited from my 0:26:31.000 --> 0:26:33.479 from my dad, and so I look at him as 0:26:33.520 --> 0:26:36.639 a role model in aspects. But other than that, I 0:26:36.640 --> 0:26:40.600 can't really don't give anything. What are some of your 0:26:40.800 --> 0:26:47.400 New Year's resolutions for? So? I read a book called 0:26:47.440 --> 0:26:51.760 The Happiness Project, and it was really cool because they 0:26:52.320 --> 0:26:57.000 basically said, setting new Year's resolutions, you're you're basically setting 0:26:57.040 --> 0:27:01.840 yourself up to fail. Um, but if you and like 0:27:01.920 --> 0:27:05.040 and how like, it was like they rated people doing it, 0:27:05.080 --> 0:27:09.359 But if you did it in monthly increment so like January, 0:27:09.400 --> 0:27:13.600 I want to swear less. February I wanna you know, 0:27:14.640 --> 0:27:17.760 eat better. In March, I really want to be softer 0:27:17.880 --> 0:27:20.240 and kinder to myself. And you know, over time, like 0:27:20.280 --> 0:27:22.920 you want to carry those other ones into each other month. 0:27:23.280 --> 0:27:26.480 But like, just setting like one goal for that one month, 0:27:26.760 --> 0:27:30.719 it's gonna be easier. It's gonna be easier for you 0:27:30.760 --> 0:27:34.680 to attain that goal because you're not just like and 0:27:34.760 --> 0:27:37.359 to like I don't know, I mean like if you 0:27:37.440 --> 0:27:39.040 look back at your list, but like I look back 0:27:39.040 --> 0:27:42.160 on my list almost every month to be like, Okay, 0:27:42.200 --> 0:27:45.439 what what have I kept putting back on the backburner 0:27:45.600 --> 0:27:49.320 of my goals this year? Um? Because it's easy to 0:27:49.400 --> 0:27:53.280 write your goals on a sheet of paper or tell 0:27:53.359 --> 0:27:55.679 yourself it, But if you're not gonna look at it 0:27:55.720 --> 0:27:58.200 and see it and remind yourself of what you set 0:27:58.200 --> 0:28:00.520 out to do, you're never going to fulfill what you 0:28:00.560 --> 0:28:03.679 want to do. Um. And you know there's things on 0:28:03.720 --> 0:28:05.640 my list that I you know, there's only one thing 0:28:05.680 --> 0:28:09.000 I didn't do this year on my list, and you 0:28:09.040 --> 0:28:13.359 know it was something that I decided to put, you know, 0:28:13.440 --> 0:28:15.440 to to my next year. But to be like the 0:28:15.880 --> 0:28:18.960 top of what I'm gonna do because I didn't fulfill 0:28:19.000 --> 0:28:20.840 everything I wanted to do. But I think it is 0:28:20.920 --> 0:28:26.480 like writing things out and for me, like, um, you know, 0:28:26.520 --> 0:28:28.520 I have my work goals and then my personal goals, 0:28:28.600 --> 0:28:33.879 and I think just I'm gonna keep my own personal 0:28:33.960 --> 0:28:37.800 ones to myself. But um, I have I have very 0:28:37.880 --> 0:28:45.320 high goals. What about you? Um, you know I gotta 0:28:45.320 --> 0:28:48.200 write them out? I don't. I don't. I have them 0:28:48.200 --> 0:28:49.360 off the top of my head. But I think I 0:28:49.440 --> 0:28:50.959 got to look back on my list. Is one thing 0:28:51.000 --> 0:28:52.960 I didn't do is look back on my list enough. 0:28:54.040 --> 0:28:57.760 But also looking to see you both are so talented. 0:28:58.200 --> 0:29:00.760 What are some hidden talents that you don't know about? 0:29:02.920 --> 0:29:07.800 I can carty and I can do the splits, which 0:29:07.800 --> 0:29:09.760 I feel like for thirty seven year old is pretty 0:29:09.800 --> 0:29:20.960 darn good. Um, don't a great swimmer. You're a great cook, 0:29:21.040 --> 0:29:24.880 but everyone knows that you are a good swimmer, strong summer. 0:29:25.040 --> 0:29:28.840 I would drown you. See your back on the clock 0:29:28.880 --> 0:29:32.440 with us. You're on the stereo app. All right, we 0:29:32.480 --> 0:29:35.200 got we got some more questions coming in from social Jane. 0:29:35.320 --> 0:29:37.480 I'm sorry when you say you can do the splits? 0:29:37.520 --> 0:29:41.160 Is it like the like uh was it Jean Claude 0:29:41.200 --> 0:29:43.960 being damn like straight out or like in front and 0:29:44.000 --> 0:29:47.320 behind you? Which way? Well, front and behind. I can't 0:29:47.360 --> 0:29:49.760 do this straight out. I don't think I've ever been 0:29:49.800 --> 0:29:51.760 able to do that, that one. It's always just been 0:29:51.880 --> 0:29:55.360 so I guess that's like kind of cheating. But no, no, 0:29:55.440 --> 0:29:57.480 that's I mean, that's that's the splits in my mind. 0:29:57.520 --> 0:30:05.000 It's still the splits. Right. M uh let's see. Oh, 0:30:05.480 --> 0:30:08.280 I'm being told you didn't get to them. What were 0:30:08.280 --> 0:30:11.160 the resolutions you didn't get to? Jannah? Can you share 0:30:11.360 --> 0:30:14.400 the one you put off for next year? Yes? Um, 0:30:14.440 --> 0:30:17.480 I never I really wanted to do a blog, um, 0:30:17.560 --> 0:30:21.320 and I I I just I didn't do it. And 0:30:21.320 --> 0:30:24.040 I'm bummed that I didn't do that. Um. But I'm 0:30:24.040 --> 0:30:26.280 gonna start putting the things that I want to do 0:30:26.320 --> 0:30:30.320 at the forefront and um and make sure that I 0:30:30.640 --> 0:30:35.200 everything else I did. Um, but I that was the one. 0:30:35.360 --> 0:30:38.480 So I'm gonna I like to write things down, even 0:30:38.480 --> 0:30:42.040 though I'm not the best writer, but I like to 0:30:42.160 --> 0:30:45.040 just kind of write out things and um, have a 0:30:45.080 --> 0:30:47.760 safe place to express things because I feel like on 0:30:47.840 --> 0:30:52.440 Instagram it's really hard to write right certain things because 0:30:52.440 --> 0:30:54.080 you get a lot of negative feedback. But if I 0:30:54.120 --> 0:30:56.440 have a blog, it's kind of like hopefully the only 0:30:56.680 --> 0:30:59.080 hopefully people that like me, we'll just go to the 0:30:59.120 --> 0:31:02.040 blog and not that people that hate on me. Um, 0:31:02.200 --> 0:31:04.760 And you know, can it can be like a nicer 0:31:04.840 --> 0:31:08.840 environment to share vulnerable things. So it would be like 0:31:08.840 --> 0:31:11.880 like a general kind of like place to share your 0:31:11.920 --> 0:31:14.719 thoughts as opposed to like like it won't be just 0:31:14.800 --> 0:31:18.800 about parenting or just about your marriage, like everything related 0:31:18.800 --> 0:31:25.280 to Janna, everything and everything, anything and everything. And that 0:31:25.320 --> 0:31:27.120 brings me to my next question. I'm actually holding my 0:31:27.200 --> 0:31:29.080 hand a copy of The Good Fight, which is an 0:31:29.080 --> 0:31:32.760 amazing book everyone should check out by Jenna Clamer Michael Cosson. 0:31:32.920 --> 0:31:38.160 Is there going to be another book? That's the plan. 0:31:40.000 --> 0:31:41.880 That's the plan. We're just you know, we're working on 0:31:41.880 --> 0:31:44.240 the topic and how we want to structure things and 0:31:45.480 --> 0:31:49.600 go from there. Yeah. I mean, I've gotten a bunch 0:31:49.600 --> 0:31:51.520 of ideas and I hope that you know, we can 0:31:51.520 --> 0:31:53.840 sit down and come together and and you know, work 0:31:53.880 --> 0:31:58.760 on it. So we'll see fingers crossed The Good Fight 0:31:58.880 --> 0:32:01.480 round to come and do a bestsellers list near you. 0:32:04.000 --> 0:32:07.000 Let's hey, what are some couples getaways? That you guys 0:32:07.000 --> 0:32:09.440 have done you really enjoyed, and you'd recommend to some 0:32:09.520 --> 0:32:15.160 parents that need a break. Um. I mean I think 0:32:15.200 --> 0:32:19.920 there's a place. Um, we just went to Cabo. We 0:32:20.000 --> 0:32:24.760 went to pedrogal Um Kaboul is a diamond resorts property 0:32:24.760 --> 0:32:27.880 that's really nice. Um. And if you want to just 0:32:27.920 --> 0:32:31.480 do something local, there's a place in Tennessee called BlackBerry 0:32:31.480 --> 0:32:37.120 Farms that's all farm to table, really good food. Um. 0:32:37.160 --> 0:32:41.600 And honestly, like for me, like just you know, you 0:32:41.640 --> 0:32:44.880 can just get away anywhere with Airbnb. I mean pick 0:32:44.920 --> 0:32:51.400 a place, get on Airbnb and and just get away. Um. 0:32:51.720 --> 0:32:55.120 I'm trying to think of other places. I think you know, 0:32:55.200 --> 0:32:59.440 a staycation is highly underrated. Um. You know, even in 0:32:59.520 --> 0:33:01.880 your city or or a nearby city that's a close 0:33:01.960 --> 0:33:05.160 to travel to and just get away and just so 0:33:05.280 --> 0:33:10.160 you're waking up somewhere different together and just doing something different. 0:33:12.560 --> 0:33:16.360 What's one word of advice you guys can share for 0:33:16.440 --> 0:33:21.560 a long happy marriage. One word? One word? But that's 0:33:21.560 --> 0:33:35.200 all you got patients, Um, Empathy, grace, communication. Yeah, my 0:33:35.400 --> 0:33:45.080 mom would be grace that. Yeah. So when this is 0:33:45.080 --> 0:33:47.920 a question that came in when one of you is 0:33:47.960 --> 0:33:54.720 in trouble, who gets over the silent treatment? First? What 0:33:54.760 --> 0:33:57.400 do you mean? I'm I'm sorry, I'm trying to kind 0:33:57.400 --> 0:33:59.640 of worth this out with it. What they mean? I 0:34:00.040 --> 0:34:02.000 you do give each other the silent treatment? Like do 0:34:02.040 --> 0:34:03.959 you do? You there? You guys like shut down when 0:34:04.000 --> 0:34:07.200 you're when you're upset at the other one. Yeah, I 0:34:07.240 --> 0:34:12.680 think we both do. And when that happens, which of 0:34:12.719 --> 0:34:20.040 you is fastest to break that? Probably? Yeah, because it's 0:34:20.080 --> 0:34:25.560 usually me that's in trouble. So usually the culprit is 0:34:25.600 --> 0:34:30.520 the one that needs to break the silence. So it's 0:34:30.600 --> 0:34:36.879 the easiest spot to start waving the white flag. Let's 0:34:36.920 --> 0:34:42.360 see here. Um. You know, I I personally have just 0:34:42.440 --> 0:34:46.680 learned so much about about marriage from you guys, and 0:34:46.760 --> 0:34:50.560 like working on this show has been like just a 0:34:50.560 --> 0:34:55.080 master class I think in in conflict management and listening 0:34:55.280 --> 0:34:57.800 and patience. And I just want to thank you guys 0:34:58.120 --> 0:35:01.200 as we end the end of the year here or uh, 0:35:01.200 --> 0:35:04.200 for for all the you know, I can't imagine the 0:35:04.280 --> 0:35:07.239 thousands of other couples you're helping, but just I'm just 0:35:07.320 --> 0:35:10.879 one case. This has been I just appreciate you guys 0:35:10.880 --> 0:35:13.799 sharing your your journey and sharing these things that you've 0:35:13.880 --> 0:35:17.840 learned along the way. It's helping everybody else than thanks Easter. 0:35:18.200 --> 0:35:24.959 Appreciative buddy. Uh. Let's see, it's not always easy, right, 0:35:26.719 --> 0:35:29.560 That's that's right. Uh, you know you got to keep 0:35:29.560 --> 0:35:33.520 on fighting the good fight because you know, if it 0:35:33.560 --> 0:35:35.920 was easy, everyone would do it, and uh not everybody 0:35:35.960 --> 0:35:39.480 does it, that's for sure, not every h So you 0:35:39.520 --> 0:35:43.000 know you mentioned on the show the other uh last week, 0:35:43.400 --> 0:35:47.560 I think, um, that you were thinking about maybe surrogacy 0:35:47.680 --> 0:35:52.200 if you're gonna go for baby number three? Uh? Is 0:35:52.239 --> 0:35:54.279 that's is that something as I have looked into, how 0:35:54.520 --> 0:35:57.480 do you feel about about like how would you react 0:35:57.520 --> 0:36:02.640 over someone else like carrying your child? Yeah, you know 0:36:02.719 --> 0:36:05.880 it's something that we we've just kind of thrown at 0:36:05.920 --> 0:36:08.719 the board, just talking out all sorts of options if 0:36:08.760 --> 0:36:10.560 we want to end up having a third And I 0:36:10.600 --> 0:36:15.200 think it's you know, you gotta weigh the options, and 0:36:16.360 --> 0:36:19.320 you know, for us, it's it's in the possible equation. 0:36:19.920 --> 0:36:24.400 But I have my you know, right, my reservations about 0:36:24.440 --> 0:36:28.320 it as well, are my hesitations about it as well, Um, 0:36:28.400 --> 0:36:32.320 just you know, not feeling as the dad. We already 0:36:32.320 --> 0:36:35.239 don't feel as connected because we're not carrying the child, right, 0:36:35.239 --> 0:36:37.919 so there's not that initial maternal bond like a mother 0:36:38.000 --> 0:36:42.160 and a child have. And so now you know, as 0:36:42.160 --> 0:36:45.360 the dad, will feel even more kind of displaced because 0:36:45.920 --> 0:36:48.080 now we're not even able to be next to the 0:36:48.160 --> 0:36:50.360 child on a regular basis and talk to the child. 0:36:50.760 --> 0:36:54.400 You would think, though, that that would help you, like 0:36:54.480 --> 0:36:57.480 because we're both like we're like doing it together where 0:36:57.480 --> 0:36:59.839 it's like we're both like going through it and being like, 0:37:00.480 --> 0:37:03.120 do you know what I mean? Yeah, I do, but 0:37:04.280 --> 0:37:06.440 I think i'd be closer to you. But I'm not 0:37:06.520 --> 0:37:11.680 comparing it to to your to like your connection or 0:37:11.760 --> 0:37:15.120 like the mother's connection. I'm I'm just kind of saying 0:37:15.160 --> 0:37:17.279 like in general, like now I wouldn't be able to 0:37:17.320 --> 0:37:19.640 see it at all or not at all, but you know, 0:37:19.960 --> 0:37:24.759 but yeah, I get what you're saying. Would you like, 0:37:26.600 --> 0:37:29.080 I'm not sure exactly how it works, but like when 0:37:29.120 --> 0:37:32.239 you like hang out with the with the surrogate, like 0:37:32.320 --> 0:37:35.440 I'd be inclined to just be like macking down sushi 0:37:35.480 --> 0:37:37.799 and drinking, like you know, doing all the stuff you 0:37:37.840 --> 0:37:40.680 can't do when you're pregnant, like so that that, I mean, 0:37:40.680 --> 0:37:44.920 that's an attractive thing, right, I mean, the only thing 0:37:44.960 --> 0:37:47.719 that's really attractive to me is the fact that I 0:37:47.760 --> 0:37:52.920 wouldn't be puking the entire time, and I would, like, 0:37:52.960 --> 0:37:55.680 who knows if I'd be able to carry it, you know, 0:37:55.800 --> 0:37:58.040 like if I would have another miscarriage again. So it's 0:37:58.080 --> 0:38:02.239 just and I'm being sure, having wine is a nice thing, 0:38:02.280 --> 0:38:04.000 but I mean it was easy to give it up 0:38:04.080 --> 0:38:06.480 when when I was pregnant because the thought of wine 0:38:06.520 --> 0:38:11.080 tasted disgusting, which is not something that would happen for me. 0:38:12.320 --> 0:38:15.560 I got another live question here at East Do either 0:38:15.640 --> 0:38:19.440 of you have any crazy holiday stories, like anything that 0:38:19.960 --> 0:38:26.719 went wrong or any holiday blunders or forgotten things. Um, 0:38:27.200 --> 0:38:28.960 The only thing that I can remember when when I 0:38:29.000 --> 0:38:31.080 was five years old, those around Joy's age, I was 0:38:31.080 --> 0:38:33.640 playing this little Mermaid game with my uncle Polly, and 0:38:33.680 --> 0:38:36.160 I threw up all over my red dress. So that 0:38:36.280 --> 0:38:39.600 was like one of my early Christmas memories. And I 0:38:39.680 --> 0:38:41.839 just remember being so upset and apologizing to my uncle 0:38:41.880 --> 0:38:48.600 and saying sorry. I don't know if I have I 0:38:48.600 --> 0:38:51.000 still have this DEVI memory when I was a kid though, 0:38:51.040 --> 0:38:57.279 and it was snowstorm in Virginia and we're coming back 0:38:57.280 --> 0:38:59.960 from my grandfather's house, which was just a couple of 0:39:00.000 --> 0:39:03.120 alls away we couldn't even make it home in our car. 0:39:03.280 --> 0:39:05.240 We had to park our car at like this gas 0:39:05.239 --> 0:39:07.960 station and then walk home and like a foot of snow. 0:39:10.239 --> 0:39:12.640 And I remember just doing that when I was shoot, 0:39:12.760 --> 0:39:23.200 I was probably Jolly's age. Yeah, good old days of snow. Mhm. Hey, guys, 0:39:23.960 --> 0:39:28.600 looking towards what's a guest you've wanted to have on 0:39:28.680 --> 0:39:33.279 the podcast but you have it yet? I think it'd 0:39:33.280 --> 0:39:36.960 be fun to have like Dak Shepherd beyond the podcast. Um, 0:39:36.960 --> 0:39:38.920 And I've always wanted to do his podcast too, but 0:39:39.040 --> 0:39:41.040 I just like how open he is about his struggles 0:39:41.040 --> 0:39:44.920 with addictions and marriage and stuff.

You look like 0:44:14.080 --> 0:44:16.960 you're coming out of a window and like Tuscany or 0:44:17.000 --> 0:44:23.920 something like just done. I was coming out of amazing 0:44:24.760 --> 0:44:26.560 Thank you. Yeah, we had a good team that day. 0:44:26.600 --> 0:44:31.239 It was it was a great photographer Juliana Vicore and 0:44:31.360 --> 0:44:34.120 um just an amazing hair and you know what I mean, 0:44:34.160 --> 0:44:35.840 it's like, you know what happens. You wake up in 0:44:35.840 --> 0:44:40.399 the morning and you're like somebody can like, Oh, I've 0:44:40.480 --> 0:44:44.960 been a window in Tuscany. I remember Um Tree Hill days. You. 0:44:45.000 --> 0:44:48.399 I mean you always loved Christmas music. Um, even when 0:44:48.400 --> 0:44:50.879 we had that Christmas party. I mean you were singing 0:44:50.920 --> 0:44:54.600 the Christmas songs and you have such a beautiful voice. So, um, 0:44:54.640 --> 0:44:57.480 I mean Snow is out now, so you guys can 0:44:57.520 --> 0:44:59.800 get the album. What's your favorite song on the album 0:44:59.840 --> 0:45:05.239 that sang? Um? I'm kind of torn. I've got two favorites. Um. 0:45:05.320 --> 0:45:06.840 One of them is a duet that I do with 0:45:06.880 --> 0:45:09.360 my friend Anthony Evans, and it's for It's kind of 0:45:09.400 --> 0:45:11.279 like if you like baby. It's called Outside I think 0:45:11.280 --> 0:45:14.360 it was. It's kind of a another take on that 0:45:14.440 --> 0:45:17.279 kind of a song. Um, it's still but it's still 0:45:17.280 --> 0:45:20.320 in that fifties, forties, fifties scene. Um. And then the 0:45:20.360 --> 0:45:23.680 other one is called Rejoice. It just feels like a 0:45:23.680 --> 0:45:28.000 big church song to me. So I love it so good. 0:45:28.239 --> 0:45:31.919 Are these original songs, Bethany that you have on the album? Yes? 0:45:32.120 --> 0:45:36.600 So I did four original and um two covers. We 0:45:36.680 --> 0:45:42.200 covered jingle Bells and my Favorite Things, which is one 0:45:42.200 --> 0:45:44.759 of my favorite songs, and uh, and the rest were 0:45:44.760 --> 0:45:46.480 just songs that I had written. There were two that 0:45:46.520 --> 0:45:49.040 I had to finish, but I had them started and 0:45:49.080 --> 0:45:52.000 then others. My Christmas with You was from a play 0:45:52.080 --> 0:45:56.680 that I had written several years ago, and um, snow 0:45:56.840 --> 0:45:59.680 was just the thing I wrote this year. So yeah, 0:45:59.760 --> 0:46:03.120 I mean that it just kind of came together really fast. Um, 0:46:03.120 --> 0:46:05.160 which is why we only released it like four days ago, 0:46:06.040 --> 0:46:09.239 because I'm so last minute. I was like the day 0:46:09.239 --> 0:46:12.080 after Thanksgiving and I went, it's Christmas time. Now I 0:46:12.760 --> 0:46:16.960 make some Christmas music. Is writing a Christmas song? Is 0:46:16.960 --> 0:46:20.920 there any more added stress or difficulty to that because of, 0:46:21.440 --> 0:46:23.719 you know, it being Christmas time? And I don't know. 0:46:24.000 --> 0:46:27.480 I feel like Christmas songs are so nostalgic, nostalgic, and 0:46:27.520 --> 0:46:30.399 they last, you know, fifty plus years. It's like, here's 0:46:30.400 --> 0:46:35.839 an original. Yeah, they're good, They're good. Yeah. That For me, 0:46:36.200 --> 0:46:39.759 I find it a little easier because I grew up 0:46:39.800 --> 0:46:42.759 with the musical theater background, and so much of that 0:46:42.800 --> 0:46:47.000 includes American standards, which is that jazzy sort of sound 0:46:47.120 --> 0:46:48.960 that you hear in all the classics. I'll be Home 0:46:48.960 --> 0:46:53.280 for Christmas, White Christmas, the Christmas song, um silver Bells, 0:46:53.600 --> 0:46:57.480 you know, all of those tunes that if you take 0:46:57.520 --> 0:47:01.400 the lyrics out, the music still stands up by itself. 0:47:01.440 --> 0:47:03.319 It still holds up, which is why people are still 0:47:03.360 --> 0:47:07.480 listening to those songs a hundred years later. Um. And 0:47:07.480 --> 0:47:09.680 I'm curious to know if some of the modern songs 0:47:09.680 --> 0:47:12.160 that have been written will also stand the test of 0:47:12.160 --> 0:47:13.480 time in that way. And I think there are some 0:47:13.640 --> 0:47:16.799 that will. Um. But I try and write in that 0:47:16.880 --> 0:47:19.200 vein because it was really natural to me. So in 0:47:19.239 --> 0:47:23.800 a way, writing Christmas songs, Um, this is a roundabout 0:47:23.800 --> 0:47:27.799 way of explaining this. I hope you're following it. In 0:47:27.800 --> 0:47:31.080 a way, writing Christmas songs is a lot easier because 0:47:31.160 --> 0:47:34.160 I'm so comfortable with the American standards sound from the forties, 0:47:34.760 --> 0:47:36.839 you know. I feel like to no one can really 0:47:36.840 --> 0:47:40.200 say a Christmas song sucks, like like that song sucks. 0:47:40.280 --> 0:47:41.759 Like They'll be like, oh, it's just not I just 0:47:41.800 --> 0:47:44.400 don't like it. It's just not my taste. But I 0:47:44.440 --> 0:47:46.760 think people just have like high expectations. Like I remember 0:47:46.760 --> 0:47:49.080 when Taylor Swift came out with her Christmas Tree front 0:47:49.120 --> 0:47:51.319 and I'm just like, man, like I was wanting like 0:47:51.360 --> 0:47:53.520 all I want for Christmas or saying to tell me 0:47:53.640 --> 0:47:55.320 like kind of vibe, and so I was like bummed 0:47:55.760 --> 0:48:00.279 because you're not like, so it's still Christmas? Are you 0:48:00.360 --> 0:48:04.720 so much? You're happy? Yeah? I have heard that one, Jannah. 0:48:04.719 --> 0:48:07.160 What is the vibe on that? I mean I think 0:48:07.360 --> 0:48:09.799 it was just a one. She just released one song, 0:48:09.920 --> 0:48:11.680 so it was like, um, because she grew up on 0:48:11.680 --> 0:48:13.839 a Christmas tree farm. I mean it's cute, but I 0:48:13.880 --> 0:48:15.759 was just like I think I was expecting like a bop, 0:48:16.280 --> 0:48:18.480 you know, and it wasn't like it didn't bought me, 0:48:18.920 --> 0:48:21.600 Like it didn't bought me in the face, like I 0:48:21.680 --> 0:48:25.439 really wanted to bop. Have you put out Christmas music? Yeah, Jana, 0:48:26.560 --> 0:48:28.759 I put out one song like a million years ago 0:48:28.800 --> 0:48:30.640 when I was on a label. But um, I mean 0:48:30.680 --> 0:48:35.640 actually that's like my dream is to do a Christmas album. 0:48:34.719 --> 0:48:37.480 It would you do a song with me? Though, Like 0:48:37.520 --> 0:48:41.520 can we do a duet together? Like let's let's let's 0:48:41.560 --> 0:48:44.440 write it girl on girl, let's write it. Do it? 0:48:44.719 --> 0:48:51.200 I mean yeah, I mean Christmas Love Story, Christmas song. No. 0:48:51.400 --> 0:48:54.000 I would like, yeah, next year that would be that 0:48:54.040 --> 0:48:57.080 would be a total dreamboat scenario because I said I 0:48:57.120 --> 0:48:58.480 want to do it this year. But I mean with 0:48:58.520 --> 0:49:01.680 Quarantine and I mean you did it, you got it done, girl, 0:49:01.880 --> 0:49:04.440 and snow is out now. So I'm like super excited 0:49:04.640 --> 0:49:07.000 because I listened to the ones that isn't hit the 0:49:07.040 --> 0:49:10.439 top ten. Um two days ago we hit the top 0:49:10.480 --> 0:49:15.320 ten New Christmas albums were right under Maria. That's awesome. 0:49:18.520 --> 0:49:22.400 And where are you living again? Right now? I am 0:49:22.440 --> 0:49:26.080 on a ranch. I'm here in California. I found a 0:49:26.120 --> 0:49:29.600 little place just outside of l A. And UM got 0:49:29.640 --> 0:49:31.760 some horses. I think I'm going to get a baby goat, 0:49:31.840 --> 0:49:34.600 I think. So there was this baby goat. I was 0:49:34.640 --> 0:49:36.600 out shoveling manure the other day and we had to 0:49:36.600 --> 0:49:40.120 go dump on manure at a local ranch because I 0:49:40.160 --> 0:49:42.640 don't what am I gonna do with like tons of manure? 0:49:42.880 --> 0:49:44.960 So we dumped it, you know, we spent all days 0:49:44.960 --> 0:49:47.400 shoveling dumped it. And then I see in the corner 0:49:47.440 --> 0:49:49.759 there's this little it's kind of a collective ranch where 0:49:49.760 --> 0:49:51.840 people have their chickens and their goat and their horses. 0:49:51.880 --> 0:49:54.479 And so I went to the cage in the back 0:49:54.600 --> 0:49:57.480 and this mama goat had just had four babies like 0:49:57.960 --> 0:50:00.719 twenty minutes before. I mean she was still leading the goat. 0:50:00.800 --> 0:50:03.080 She was licking all the you know, everything off the goats. 0:50:03.080 --> 0:50:04.880 It was like really cute, and there was one in 0:50:04.920 --> 0:50:07.800 the corner that was just like crumpled up and dying 0:50:08.280 --> 0:50:11.200 and couldn't get the utters. So I got to go 0:50:11.239 --> 0:50:13.000 in there and I grabbed the baby goat and I 0:50:13.080 --> 0:50:15.279 like stuck it on the mom's eat and was like 0:50:15.320 --> 0:50:18.120 squeezing the goat's milk into its mouth and the colostom 0:50:18.160 --> 0:50:20.960 and making her it was alive. And now I'm attached 0:50:21.320 --> 0:50:27.120 to this. You have to keep the goat. You're a farmer, 0:50:27.200 --> 0:50:29.520 now you're a farm girl. I mean, you've got to 0:50:29.600 --> 0:50:32.520 keep the goat. It's your baby, I know. Do you 0:50:32.560 --> 0:50:35.480 have any animals? Do you guys have urine Nashville? Right, 0:50:35.560 --> 0:50:38.640 there's two dogs. We had chickens, but our friends farm 0:50:38.680 --> 0:50:40.680 down the street. Yeah. We apparently we're not allowed to 0:50:40.680 --> 0:50:44.120 have a coupe with our h o A people, So 0:50:45.640 --> 0:50:48.440 we're just thinking about I was thinking about getting chickens 0:50:48.440 --> 0:50:52.960 this week. You recommend chickens, you know, I would because 0:50:53.000 --> 0:50:55.760 I'm the fact that they can lay eggs and stuff 0:50:55.840 --> 0:50:58.320 is great, and we eat eggs all the time, so 0:50:58.480 --> 0:51:01.040 it's save on that. But also, I mean, and they're 0:51:01.040 --> 0:51:05.000 like little garbage disposals any like fruit rhymes like anything 0:51:05.719 --> 0:51:08.319 food lies throw out into the coupe and they eat it. 0:51:08.640 --> 0:51:12.160 They eat everything there. I think they're I think, and 0:51:12.160 --> 0:51:14.719 they're so cute as little chicks. They're so cute. But 0:51:14.800 --> 0:51:19.760 how old is your your kid? Now? He's nine, she's nine, 0:51:20.280 --> 0:51:28.120 almost ten? Um, are you done done? No? Oh my god, 0:51:28.400 --> 0:51:36.759 that's great. She's having a baby not today, You're like, 0:51:36.880 --> 0:51:39.080 right now, just a baby goat is all I'm gonna have. 0:51:40.239 --> 0:51:42.960 Are good for me right now? Oh my gosh. I 0:51:43.040 --> 0:51:47.800 love it. And what are you guys doing for Christmas? Um? Well, 0:51:47.920 --> 0:51:50.120 Maria's actually with your dad for Christmas this year. So 0:51:50.320 --> 0:51:52.479 I'm just here, I'm like here on the ranch by myself. 0:51:52.520 --> 0:51:55.759 I'm kind of just redoing her bedroom. It's kind of 0:51:56.280 --> 0:52:00.520 convenient for me with the fact that everybody's a lot 0:52:00.560 --> 0:52:04.359 of people are staying home right now necessarily so uh 0:52:04.600 --> 0:52:06.080 so I've got a lot of friends in town that 0:52:06.080 --> 0:52:07.880 are not traveling to see their family and all that. 0:52:08.000 --> 0:52:10.279 So there's we've got a kind of a group of 0:52:10.320 --> 0:52:13.560 misfits that are going to get together. How do you 0:52:13.880 --> 0:52:16.440 how do you handle because there you know those I've 0:52:16.440 --> 0:52:18.000 got a lot of We've got a lot of relationship, 0:52:18.000 --> 0:52:20.319 a lot of mamas on here that you know are 0:52:20.440 --> 0:52:23.680 not um with their significant other husband. How do you 0:52:23.719 --> 0:52:26.800 deal with holidays time and maybe not having the holiday 0:52:26.840 --> 0:52:33.480 this year with your girl? I mean, I love being 0:52:33.520 --> 0:52:37.239 with her, but it's twenty four set, like it's all 0:52:37.280 --> 0:52:40.640 me all the time. I have full I'm she's it's 0:52:40.640 --> 0:52:47.920 all I'm like the only parents basically in many ways. Um, so, honestly, 0:52:47.960 --> 0:52:52.640 like it's really nice to it's so, you know, honestly, 0:52:52.640 --> 0:52:55.040 I get like I feel that though, because sometimes like 0:52:55.920 --> 0:52:57.960 I'm like, I kind of see the other side of it. 0:52:58.000 --> 0:53:02.080 I'm like, you know, kind of seems nice sometimes, but 0:53:02.120 --> 0:53:03.480 then the flip side of it is like when you 0:53:03.520 --> 0:53:06.440 do become just the only parent, you know, where it 0:53:06.440 --> 0:53:08.399 can be hard because it's usually the mom that has 0:53:08.480 --> 0:53:12.160 like most of the time. Yeah, it is, It's true. 0:53:12.160 --> 0:53:15.080 I mean there's definitely a lot of challenges that come 0:53:15.120 --> 0:53:17.760 with that. But I love being a mom and she's 0:53:17.960 --> 0:53:19.600 a great kid and makes it easy and we have 0:53:19.600 --> 0:53:23.200 a good relationship. So um, but yeah, to be able 0:53:23.200 --> 0:53:25.680 to just have a break and have a movie calling 0:53:25.680 --> 0:53:28.040 my name, Nobody needs me to make lunch, nobody's knocking 0:53:28.080 --> 0:53:31.399 on my door, nobody needs anything. Just it's like what 0:53:31.440 --> 0:53:33.600 it was like before a kid. Nobody needs anything for me. 0:53:33.640 --> 0:53:36.200 I have no responsibilities for two weeks. It's so bizarre, 0:53:37.160 --> 0:53:39.360 but I kind of love it. So I'm just painting 0:53:39.400 --> 0:53:42.160 the house and you know, I'm redoing her room and 0:53:42.719 --> 0:53:44.759 taking care of the horses and the dogs and just 0:53:44.840 --> 0:53:48.520 being I'm goofing off, you know, just being a goat mom, 0:53:48.640 --> 0:53:52.799 just being a goat mom picking up poop. You have 0:53:52.840 --> 0:53:56.319 a movie out right now, too, don't you blind well, 0:53:56.400 --> 0:54:00.680 yea blind Fire is out and Star Chrism is also 0:54:00.719 --> 0:54:02.480 out with that's on Hallmarks. We have to wait for 0:54:02.480 --> 0:54:05.520 the reruns on that, which, by the way, you were 0:54:06.400 --> 0:54:10.640 with Victor, which is Chantelle. So it was Sean Tell 0:54:10.840 --> 0:54:14.520 so your sister Quinn it was now her like real 0:54:14.520 --> 0:54:16.279 life boyfriend, which I think is really cute because you 0:54:16.320 --> 0:54:18.319 guys were like making out and you're like, hey, this 0:54:18.400 --> 0:54:21.000 is like my best friends. It's like, you know, boyfriend. 0:54:22.200 --> 0:54:24.719 I know, it's not funny, it's just small town. I 0:54:24.719 --> 0:54:26.399 think that's kind of like part for the course, And then, 0:54:26.800 --> 0:54:28.560 isn't it It really was? I was like, wow, this 0:54:28.640 --> 0:54:30.960 is I mean, hey, if there's anybody to make out with, 0:54:31.000 --> 0:54:33.200 like someone like mis will be someone that you trust, 0:54:33.760 --> 0:54:37.919 you know, and you know we weren't really making out. 0:54:37.920 --> 0:54:41.200 There was like Hallmarkets kiss and it was a Hallmark kiss. Yeah, 0:54:41.200 --> 0:54:43.600 it's not like we're ripping each other's clothes off. But 0:54:43.680 --> 0:54:45.480 even when I have to do things like that, like 0:54:45.520 --> 0:54:48.799 in Pierson, there's just such a as long as both 0:54:48.800 --> 0:54:51.919 people come in with really clean energy and it's just 0:54:52.080 --> 0:54:56.759 like work, it's not. It's not really it's not like 0:54:56.840 --> 0:55:00.760 you go home you're like, oh that was that was steamy. 0:55:00.800 --> 0:55:04.560 There was twelve people watching, and no way, I hope 0:55:04.560 --> 0:55:10.040 to say. It's a world I don't understand that heart 0:55:10.080 --> 0:55:12.920 isn't hard for you, as like knowing that your wife 0:55:13.000 --> 0:55:16.600 is like sometimes like, how are you to tell about 0:55:16.600 --> 0:55:21.200 this last Door Lifetime movie? Well, when I the thing is, fortunately, 0:55:21.200 --> 0:55:23.920 since we've been married for the past five six years, 0:55:24.520 --> 0:55:28.040 she's only done like Hallmark Lifetime kisses. So when she 0:55:28.080 --> 0:55:31.319 does whenever she does a movie or series that has 0:55:31.360 --> 0:55:34.440 something a little bit more intense, that's gonna be a 0:55:34.480 --> 0:55:38.279 different story. Daddy's not gonna want to know. I'm not 0:55:38.320 --> 0:55:40.120 going to be there on set that day. I'm not 0:55:40.120 --> 0:55:42.720 gonna watch it when it comes out. Well, it's funny 0:55:42.719 --> 0:55:45.000 because this last Lifetime when I had like more of 0:55:45.000 --> 0:55:49.520 a longer, steamy, er kiss and he was like, that's 0:55:49.560 --> 0:55:53.400 a little long. I was like, sorry, oh no, And 0:55:53.480 --> 0:55:55.440 there's what two or three kisses? Yeah, there was a 0:55:55.440 --> 0:55:57.080 lot in this one. Yeah. She's like, oh, there's just 0:55:57.120 --> 0:56:00.640 one kiss I'm watching. I'm like, okay, that's one. There's 0:56:00.680 --> 0:56:04.000 another one five minutes later, another. Okay, you're just kissing 0:56:04.000 --> 0:56:08.000 the whole movie. Get okay. So funny, it's I wonder 0:56:08.120 --> 0:56:09.960 like because I don't know what that's like. I've been 0:56:09.960 --> 0:56:12.480 acting since I was twelve years old, you know, kissing, 0:56:12.600 --> 0:56:16.480 like it's just become a such a natural part of 0:56:17.920 --> 0:56:21.120 I don't know. I like, is that like that can 0:56:21.160 --> 0:56:25.160 I say curse words? On this show? Us up? Like 0:56:25.200 --> 0:56:28.600 the fact that we're like I could kiss anybody and 0:56:28.760 --> 0:56:32.360 walk away and be fine. It's all about compartmentalization. But 0:56:32.400 --> 0:56:34.000 I think it is because it's like, I mean, I 0:56:34.000 --> 0:56:36.239 remember even doing scenes with the COLLETTI like we'd be 0:56:36.320 --> 0:56:38.680 rolling around and bad making out and then they call Cotton. 0:56:38.719 --> 0:56:41.040 I'm like, are you gonna have the Caesar salad for 0:56:41.200 --> 0:56:43.440 lunch today? Like or do you think you're gonna? Like you? 0:56:43.520 --> 0:56:46.080 Because when you add the shrimp on top. It's really good, like, 0:56:47.239 --> 0:56:49.239 but it's like I don't think, I mean, you know, 0:56:49.280 --> 0:56:51.040 because because it's just work. And even like with this 0:56:51.120 --> 0:56:53.040 last movie to like Kiss and Dudes, it's like, you know, 0:56:53.520 --> 0:56:55.640 it's just it's just work and you go home to 0:56:55.719 --> 0:56:59.320 your reality. That's just none of that's reality. It's just work. 0:56:59.400 --> 0:57:01.520 And our work us involves lip blocking a few times 0:57:01.719 --> 0:57:06.520 or yeah, dry humping. It's a real naughty show. You 0:57:06.560 --> 0:57:10.400 have to have like an inner monitor that's really keeping 0:57:10.400 --> 0:57:12.359 it clean because yeah, a lot of people do fall 0:57:12.400 --> 0:57:15.640 in love on set because they're having problems with their 0:57:15.680 --> 0:57:18.240 partner or they're like, you know, they're single, and then 0:57:18.240 --> 0:57:20.280 it's because you've got somebody that you a lot of 0:57:20.320 --> 0:57:22.440 cuddily time with, and then you start to imagine that 0:57:22.480 --> 0:57:25.000 it is real even what's not so, I mean, you 0:57:25.040 --> 0:57:28.160 do have to like have a good inner guard and 0:57:28.760 --> 0:57:31.840 boundaries and keep it clean. You know, you go in 0:57:31.960 --> 0:57:34.360 everybody's just keeping it clean. Oh yeah, you have to 0:57:34.400 --> 0:57:36.400 because if not, I mean, you spend so much time 0:57:36.400 --> 0:57:38.840 with you spend like fifteen hours a day with this person. 0:57:38.920 --> 0:57:40.960 You're just like telling your deepest, darkest and then you're 0:57:41.000 --> 0:57:45.120 like you're so connected and the thing is too for 0:57:45.240 --> 0:57:48.200 Jane and I, you know, she always wants me on set, 0:57:48.320 --> 0:57:50.240 and so I try to go early on in the 0:57:50.280 --> 0:57:53.440 process just to not to mark my territory, but just 0:57:53.480 --> 0:57:56.600 to get comfortable myself with everybody and and get to 0:57:56.600 --> 0:57:58.840 know them and know them as people and human beings 0:57:58.880 --> 0:58:01.200 and what they like and don't like and so that, 0:58:01.320 --> 0:58:03.840 and then just having boundaries with you know, you're not 0:58:03.880 --> 0:58:06.200 going to read lines in each other's trailer by yourself 0:58:06.240 --> 0:58:08.240 and you know what I mean, stuff like that.
